So many happy children.

Delf Ness from Club an der Alster Hamburg and the Football Foundation as a part of the Grootbos Foundation started a hockey project in Gansbaai, South Africa, in 2009.

The Football Foundation is only one of the projects of the Grootbos Foundation. Besides this sports project there are two other projects that focus on uplifting young adults by teaching them life skills as well as showing them job opportunities.

What volunteers say

I recognized the emotional reward of this daily work and the learning effects of my work with different groups of children from an extremely different context. This significantly improved my intercultural and interpersonal understanding and taught me holding responsibility.
Valentin Jussen
In the programs in cooperation with local kindergardens we encouraged the children to work together as a team and started training them coordination skills and developing social skills while singing songs with them in several languages and playing games.
Julia Brune
My time as a volunteer also caused a change in my mindset. It helped me remember again what Hockey truly is about: Having fun and engaging with your friends at the same time rather than competing all the time.
Lara Schade
Volunteer
I was simply impressed by the skills every player on my team had. I came to South Africa with the impression that the kids have really low techniques and thought it would be best to start at the very beginning but could even start working on game tactics we used at the upcoming tournaments.
Noa Wischmann
Volunteer
Then I met the hockey kids. A group of 20-30 crazy children, who will always have a special place in my heart. Always fun, loud and active, teaching me so much about their culture, thankfulness and appreciation for the littlest things in the world.
